WHYTECLIFF CENTRES
A Unique Approach
Whytecliff Learning Centres are provincially accredited independent schools for at-risk youth ages 13-19, who have struggled within traditional educational and social service solutions.
We have established a community where students receive individualized education plans that focus on the strengths and talents of each youth, while modifying the curriculum in innovative ways to address diverse learning needs.
Whytecliff was specifically designed to respond to the needs of youth with severe mental health and behaviour challenges. Students reach the requirements of high school graduation with confidence to begin the next chapter of their lives. The unique curriculum, blended with therapeutics, inspires talent, develops skills and internal motivation, encourages character development and removes barriers that these youth would otherwise face.
Dually Accredited
Our programs work to the highest provincial, national and international standards, as evidenced by our accreditation both by the BC Ministry of Education as an independent school and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) as a Youth Addictions and Mental Health Program.
This gives Whytecliff Centres the unique ability to deal with the youths’ issues in their entirety; learning challenges, mental and emotional health, physical well-being and family circumstances – at a level and intensity that provides the best opportunity for stability, growth and, ultimately, success.
“This is a truly remarkable program…Their programs are part school, part emotional growth centers, part re-socialization programs for youth at risk… and part family and community building programs.”
– Dr.Charles Huffine, former President of the American Association of Community Psychiatrists
